Obverse description Central field features two highly detailed confronted dragons rendered in high relief, their sinuous bodies intertwined within a beaded inner circle. The Korean country name (朝鮮) and the Dangun era date (開國五百二年) appear in Chinese characters arranged around the upper periphery, flanked by bullet separators. The lower legend in the outer ring reads '416 · 1 WHAN · 900' in Latin script, indicating fineness and denomination, while the Hangul denomination '닷량' appears at the left. The entire design is enclosed within a dentilated border.
